This article is part of our Target Breakdown series.
It was a brutal week for injuries, and while big-name RBs may get most of the attention, TE arguably was hit just as hard given the shaky depth at the position. That last part is arguably less true this year than it was the past few seasons, but the not-as-think ranks are now thinning out with Darren Waller (knee), Pat Freiermuth (concussion) and Dan Arnold (knee) all picking up new injuries.
That said, none of the four teams on bye in Week 13 has provided much fantasy utility at tight end, and after that we'll have just one more week with missing teams (IND, MIA, NE, PHI in Week 14... my condolences to anyone with Jonathan Taylor on bye for a playoff matchup). We'll focus on WRs and TEs below, so check out sister article Backfield Breakdown (published every Monday) if you want details on what the Panthers did post-CMac or how the Lions handled their backfield without D'Andre Swift (among other things). Now let's look at the pass catchers....
Week 12 Sortable Leaderboards
Shows WRs with 15+ routes or 4+ targets, and TEs with 12+ routes or 3+ targets.
Sorted by target share, which only accounts for the games a player participated in.

- Mooney went over 100 yards for the second straight week and third time this season, finishing with 5-123-0 on eight targets with gains of 52 and 33 yards.
- Mooney has seen 30 of Andy Dalton's 109 targets (27.5%), 11 more than any other player (Kmet has 19, catching 14 for only 119 yards and no TD). Robinson missing the past two weeks is obviously a big factor, though.
- Mooney has seen the same percentage of Justin Fields' targets (27.5%). And with very similar numbers per target
- 17-253-1, 8.4 YPT on 30 targets from Dalton
- 29-441-2, 8.3 YPT on 53 targets from Fields.

- Allen Robinson (hamstring) was out for a second straight game, and Goodwin — who put up 4-104-1 on 71% of snaps the week before — saw just one incomplete target on 67% of snaps through the third quarter of Thursday's game. Goodwin then missed the fourth quarter with a foot injury.
- Byrd also took 67% of snaps through the third quarter, and then 96% in the fourth. He finished with 4-42-0 on five targets.
- Kmet led the team in targets and finished second in routes, putting up 8-65-0 to rebound from a 1-12-0 line the week before (on two targets and 90% snap share).

Team Volume: 26 DBs, 25 att. (21-171-2)
- St. Brown moved into an every-down role, rather than just handling slot work in three-wide formations (his role for most of the season).
- St. Brown played 11 of 12 snaps (92%) in 21/12 personnel (two-wide), after getting 62% of those snaps in Week 11.
- Prior to Week 11, he'd taken just 8% of Detroit's snaps in those two-wide formations.
- He didn't do much with the extra snaps/routes, however, catching four of four targets for 23 years. And each of the four targets came in 11 personnel... The four passes in 21/12 went to Josh Reynolds and Kalif Raymond, who split snaps. Still, this is good news for St. Brown.
- St. Brown played 11 of 12 snaps (92%) in 21/12 personnel (two-wide), after getting 62% of those snaps in Week 11.
- Hockenson made the most of his three targets with a 3-35-1 receiving line, but his snaps dropped to 76%, the first time this year below 80% in a non-blowout (he got 94% and 88% the two previous games).
- Probably not a concern, as he still got 81% route share.
- Reynolds put up 3-70-1 on five targets and 88% of snaps, after finishing with 0-0-0 on three targets and 90% of snaps (he did have two tackles!) the week before.
- Raymond is still playing a comfortable majority of snaps, but he's slipped to co-No. 2 in terms of playing time (and targets), whereas at one point he was the de facto No. 1, averaging 5.6 targets over the first seven weeks.
- He's still played at least 63% of snaps in every game, and is averaging 3.0 catches for 34.5 yards overall.

- Waller left in the second quarter with a hip injury. Interim coach Rich Bisaccia called him "week to week", hinting at missed time.
- Moreau played 95% of snaps after the first quarter but caught only one of five targets for three yards.
- Moreau put up 6-60-1 on six targets and 100% snap share when Waller missed Week 7 against the Eagles.
- Renfrow had career highs in catches and yards, and matched a career high with nine targets.
- He's never seen 10 targets in a game, but has eight games with exactly nine, including four this year.
- He also has three games this year with eight targets, and is averaging 7.5 per game without every hitting double digits.
- He's never seen 10 targets in a game, but has eight games with exactly nine, including four this year.
- The 72% snap share for Edwards was his smallest since Week 1. Maybe because he has four catches over the past four games... on 130 routes. Yikes.
- Jackson had the long TD and finished with 3-102-1 on four targets and 48% of snaps.
- A big improvement from 17% and 34% of snaps with one total target in his first two games with the Raiders. He might get more of Edwards' playing time moving forward...
- Jones put up 5-59-0 on seven targets, his first game all year with more than two catches or four targets.
- But his fourth game in a row with at least two-thirds of snaps... and it's declined each week, from 96% to 85% to 72% to 69%. Uber-deep-leaguers beware! D-Jax is coming from those Zay/Edwards snaps (which might actually involve targets if Waller misses time).
- Jackson had the long TD and finished with 3-102-1 on four targets and 48% of snaps.

- With Amari Cooper (COVID-19) and CeeDee Lamb (concussion) both out, the Cowboys kept a tight rotation of four pass catchers, while Tony Pollard and Ezekiel Elliott rotated in the backfield.
- Wilson had 7-104-0. Gallup had 5-106-0. Brown put up 6-53-0. And Schultz had 3-46-1.
- Each of the four got 40-48 routes and 7-10 targets. Now that's balance!

- Beasley played 70% of snaps, up from 57% the week before and 16% in Week 10 (when his rib injury flared up).
- He still hasn't reached 50 yards since putting up 10-110-0 in Week 8, but the snap shares are at least getting back to normal.
- Sanders continues to get plenty of snaps and routes amidst a dreadful slump, but the target share has been slipping, now down to 15.3%.
- Five straight games with 10.5 PPR points or less.
- 0-0-0, 4-65-0, 2-27-0, 3-26-0, 3-28-0... gross.
- Knox made the most of three targets with a 3-32-2 receiving line, one week after putting up 6-80-0 on 10 targets.
- Know has played 84%, 98% and 91% of snaps in three games since returning from a hand injury, averaging 3.3 catches for 43.0 yards and 0.67 TDs on 4.7 targets.
- He averaged 3.5 for 47.7 yards and 0.83 TDs on 4.5 targets in six games before the injury. So, similar story -- decent volume, awesome efficiency.
- Know has played 84%, 98% and 91% of snaps in three games since returning from a hand injury, averaging 3.3 catches for 43.0 yards and 0.67 TDs on 4.7 targets.
- Diggs scored his sixth TD in the past six games, finishing with 7-74-1 on a team-high nine targets (nobody else saw more than five).
- His target share is up to 24.9%, 14th in the league.

Team Volume: 31 DBs, 29 att. (17-163-1)
- Smith was the only Saint above 68% route share, while six guys were in the range of 32-68 percent.
- Humphrey's involvement the past two weeks has been new, and it may stick given that he's caught four of six targets for 51 yards and a TD in that stretch (also, competition for playing time isn't exactly fierce).
- The Saints largely operated from three-wide formations with TE Adam Trautman (IR/knee) out of the picture (I won't show the exact personnel stats, because they're hard to sort out with Montgomery playing a position he isn't listed at).
- Juwan Johnson didn't get any targets, but 55% route share was a season high. He split TE snaps with Nick Vannett (37%) and Garrett Griffin (33%).
- Montgomery is listed here, but he took nearly all his snaps in the backfield, sharing work with Tony Jones.

- Pittsburgh played starters to the very end, with both Johnson and Claypool taking all 23 snaps in the fourth quarter.
- Freiermuth left in the fourth quarter and later was confirmed to be in concussion protocol.
- The rookie played 80% of snaps pre-Q4, and finished with 4-40-1 on four targets while running the third most routes (32, 73% share) on the team. Eric Ebron (IR/knee) was out again, and it's not clear if/when he'll be back this year.
- Washington and Miller split the No. 3 WR role 50/50, combining for only three targets.
- Pittsburgh took 50 of 62 snaps in 11 personnel, a throwback to past years.
- Extreme negative game script + TE injuries = much 11*.
- *But still no targets for the No. 3 receiver.
- Extreme negative game script + TE injuries = much 11*.
- Pittsburgh took 50 of 62 snaps in 11 personnel, a throwback to past years.
- This is the third week in a row where I've mentioned that Diontae Johnson has double-digit targets in all but two games this season, and double-digit PPR points in every contest.
- I'll say it again next week too. It keeps being true.
- Claypool is averaging 13.0 more yards per game than he did last year. But man, it doesn't feel like it, with only one TD from 608 receiving yards (and 52 rushing yards).

- Higgins finally had his big game, with 6-114-1 on a team-high eight targets.
- He played fewer snaps than Boyd and Chase but all three were at 85-90 percent route share.
- Chase hasn't hit 50 yards since his 201-yard effort in Baltimore in Week 7, but we shouldn't be too worried given that he has 31 targets and two TDs in four games since. The rookie is still at a 61% catch rate and 11.0 YPT for the year, with 7.5 targets per game.

- Gronkowski has caught 13 of 18 targets for 194 yards in two games since returning from back spasms. He's a rock-solid TE1 again.
- Scott Miller saw one incomplete target on three routes in his first game since Week 3 (he was on IR with a toe injury).
- Johnson, meanwhile, kept the No. 3 role but once again did absolutely nothing with it. Miller Time?
- Or maybe just time to get A.B. back in the lineup?

- Doyle put up 6-81-1 after back-to-back weeks with five targets and three catches. But even this week, his route share was only 49%, so there's still a high risk of a dud each week. Don't mistake the past three weeks for some kind of substantial role change or newfound consistency.
- Hilton had more of an impact with 4-28-1, but he was still just the No. 3 receiver in terms of snaps/routes.
- Maybe that changes soon?

- Kadarius Toney and Sterling Shepard both missed the game with quad injuries.
- Cooper, unexpectedly, jumped in as the No. 3 receiver, albeit with only two targets.
- Ross had the same number of targets on six routes, and caught two passes for 28 yards. He was listed as questionable with a hamstring injury, and might've played more if not for that.
- Kyle Rudolph (ankle) and Kaden Smith (knee) both were out, leaving Engram to play 90% of snaps (and lead the team in routes.
- He still finished with a pretty typicalEngram line, 3-37-0 on six targets.
- Golladay had 3-50-0 on a team-high seven targets, and Slayton had 3-40-0 on just four looks.

- Moore somehow escaped with 4-103-0 thanks to a 64-yard gain, but everything else went wrong for the Panthers in this one, including a season-ending injury for Christian McCaffrey.
- The injury likely pushes some targets from the RBs to the WRs/TEs, but in a completely broken offense that just lost its best player.
- Cam Newton was benched for P.J. Walker early in the fourth quarter. Personally, I'd rather have Walker in there if I'm counting on a Carolina pass catcher (yikes). Not that he's even decent, but at least he doesn't run the ball on every snap inside the 5-yard line.

- He waddled, like a penguin, because his name is Waddle. Fantastic.
- His first 100-yard game, 9-137-1, bringing him to 77-759-4 for the year.
- With 60 of the 229 Tua targets (26%), catching 45 for 502 and four TDs. Tua + Waddle = $.
- Tua + Gesicki = ? The TE is down to 16% of Tua's targets, though he did put up 5-50-0 on six looks just a week prior.
- No need to panic, but it did seem Brissett really pushed the ball to Gesicki, while Tua prefers Waddle. Plus, the rookie has improved throughout the year, demanding more targets.
- Long, a third-round rookie out of BC, made his fourth appearance of the year and first since Week 6, replacing Adam Shaheen (inactive/knee) as the No. 3 TE. Long has one target (incomplete) on 53 snaps.

- The 4-46-0 line isn't great (and neither is Zach Wilson), but the usage remains highly encouraging.
- Cole took on an every-down role with Corey Davis (groin) out.
- The Jets have tightened the WR rotation the past couple weeks, but that could change again if/when Davis and Denzel Mims (COVID-19) return.

- Pitts continued his slump with 2-26-0 on six targets, but everything checks out in terms of snap/route/target share.
- Gage put up 6-62-1 on seven targets, following 5-49-0 on eight targets in the loss to New England the week before.
- But before that he had two goose eggs in a span of three games.
- Sharpe has played 57% of snaps or more in five straight games, and has topped two receptions or 22 yards just once in that span (the first of the five games).

- Talk about retreads. Austin scored his first few TD in a few years, but it was actually Treadwell (the 2016 Vikings' first-round pick) who took on a full-time role after Jamal Agnew's season-ending hip injury last week.
- Shenault saw nine targets, his most since Week 6, but he finished with only 5-33-0 and right in his usual snap range, despite shifting back to the slot after playing outside more Weeks 5-10.

- Even with all the injuries, only Westbrook-Ikhine and Hollister topped 61% route share or three targets. The Titans did continue running the ball (successfully, apart from fumbles) while trailing by multiple scores in the second half, so negative game script didn't lead to extra pass volume.
- Tennessee goes on bye, mercifully, in Week 13. Julio Jones (hamstring) is eligible to return from IR right after, though he won't necessarily be ready.

- Pretty simple here, though we'll note that Ben Skowronek (back) was inactive, after sharing snaps with Beckham in the previous game (before a Week 11 bye).
- Beckham played 98% snaps and ran a route on every dropback but one, finishing with 5-81-1 on 10 targets behind a 54-yard TD catch early in the fourth quarter.

- Lazard's return from a one-week absence didn't stop Cobb, who put up 4-95-1 in the first half before exiting early with a groin injury.
- Cobb leads the NFL with 11 targets inside the 10-yard line. (He has only 39 targets overall, tied for 114th among all players.
- If Cobb misses time, it could help Davante Adams in addition to the guys who pick up more snaps (MVS, Lazard).
- Cobb leads the NFL with 11 targets inside the 10-yard line. (He has only 39 targets overall, tied for 114th among all players.
- Before his exit around the two-minute warning of the first half, Cobb took 68% of snaps in 11 personnel, with MVS at 64% and Lazard at 46%.
- Over the final 32 minutes, Lazard got 93% in 11 and MVS got 26%.
- In 12 personnel, MVS got 50% and Lazard only 22% (with ESB at 28%).
- Bye coming up in Week 13, giving Cobb extra time to heal.

- Same usage as ever. The Dalvin Cook injury could lead to a lower run rate and a smaller target share for the RBs, but neither impact is likely to be drastic.

- Samuel injured his groin again and didn't play snaps in the fourth quarter.
- No. 3 receiver Jauan Jennings scored a TD earlier in the game, but it was actually Aiyuk nemesis Trent Sherfield who picked up Samuel's playing time in the fourth quarter, taking 85% of snaps (compared to 15% for Jennings).
- Hard to say how the 49ers will replace Deebo (in terms of snaps AND touches), given his unique role.
- I mostly think Aiyuk and Kittle benefit. And Aiyuk put up 3-91-0 on six targets in this one, following 7-85-1 the week before in Jacksonville.

- Bryant, the No. 3 TE, had a nice night with 3-50-0 on three targets, but he left the game late with a high-ankle sprain, potentially knocking him out for the rest of the season.
- Njoku's route share was down a bit in this one, but he finished with 3-35-1 on five targets, and there's now another factor working in favor of him and Hooper getting routes/targets, in addition to the lack of talent at WR.
- Landry finally put up some receiving yards (6-111-0) but is still averaging only 4.5 catches for 46 yards on 7.7 targets since returning from IR. The volume is there, but both he and Baker Mayfield are fighting through injuries (and they aren't exactly Moss/Brady in the first place).
- Landry's snap/route shares also were season highs.
- The Browns lost RT Jack Conklin (patella) to a season-ending injury in his first game back from an IR stint due to an elbow injury. Swing tackle Chris Hubbard (pectoral) is already out for the year, so Blake Hance is back in the lineup. Hance has PFF's No. 63 out of 81 OTs, making him the obvious weak link on an otherwise stellar line.

- Apart from Hollywood, the WR snap shares tumbled with everyone healthy and the Ravens shifting toward heavier sets (they went three/four-wide on only 34 of 80 snaps).
- In 3/4-wide looks, the snaps went to Brown (89%), Duvernay (86%), Watkins (69%) and then Bateman (46%).
- For two-wide, it was Brown (89%), Bateman (67%) Watkins (33%) and Duvernay (11%).
- One-wide snaps (15) were split between Brown (six), Tylan Wallace (three) and Bateman/Watkins/Duvernay (two each).
- This looked a little like the Miami game for Brown, with Cleveland taking away the deep ball and encouraging the Ravens to settle for short passes on the perimeter.
- The snap and routes shares for Bateman were his lowest yet, supporting fears that Watkins' return would take a big chunk out of the rookie's volume.
- In two games with Brown, Watkins, Duvernay and Bateman all healthy, Bateman has 50% snap share and 16% target share.
- Watkins is at 38% and 6%, respectively
- Duvernay is 52% and 8%
- Hollywood is 76% and 32%, but with only 14-88-0 on 23 looks.
- Andrews is 73% and 25%
- Remember... small samples here. The big takeaway is just that Bateman is splitting snaps/routes with Watkins, a big problem even if he's playing well.
- In two games with Brown, Watkins, Duvernay and Bateman all healthy, Bateman has 50% snap share and 16% target share.

- Everett coming into some fantasy value late is a pathetic silver lining for this offense.
- Eskridge had one more target, but Swain ran three times as many routes and scored the late TD. Still Swain in the No. 3 role.

- daThomas didn't quite return to his usual role with 95-100% snap share, but he wasn't too far off (77%) and came oh so close to a TD at the end there.
- Samuel's return (for 25% of snaps) had little impact on Carter, who continued in the No. 2 WR role with 4-42-0 on five targets and a carry for four yards on 73% of snaps.
- Samuel took two touches for 13 yards, and appears to have survived.
